STOP ABLEISM! – Identifying and Dismantling Discrimination

Ableism: What is that actually?
A handbook to understand ableism and effectively dismantle barriers.

The discrimination against people with disabilities is the reason why not everyone can participate equally in life even today. Fear of contact still prevents a dialogue about ableism. As a result, nearly 15 percent of the global population remains excluded from society. Without pointing fingers, the authors provide specific knowledge about barriers and mechanisms of exclusion in dominant societies, using simple explanations and vivid examples.

This handbook offers the ideal starting point for recognizing and questioning one's own privileges as a non-disabled person, and ultimately dismantles discrimination and barriers once and for all.
